I AM Worthy: A Morning Meditation Series and Bible-Based Affirmation With Erin Marie of Manifestherdailyಮಾದರಿ

God calls you beautiful simply because you are His workmanship. You're His creation, and when He looks at you, He is pleased. You don't have to change who you are, and you don't have to add anything to yourself in order to please God. He loves you deeply . . . overwhelmingly—and calls you beautiful just because you exist in His perfect plan for you. He has great things for you, beautiful.

Many times, the media, culture, people, and other sources subtly attempt to make you believe that you aren't enough. They tell you that you need more external attributes in order to be worthy—more money, more beauty, more love, more abs, more external showmanship of what they deem valuable—when the truth is, God created you with exactly what you need, and there is a wealth of gifts already inside of you.

1 Peter 3:3–4 says, “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.”

In fact, the Bible tells us that He's placed one of His greatest treasures in you. This treasure is defined in the Bible, which shares that the Kingdom of God is within every one of us. The Kingdom of God is both a present reality that displays God's rule in the hearts of believers and a future hope, leading us to God's ultimate full reign on earth. The benefits of the Kingdom of God include righteousness, peace, joy in the Holy Spirit, freedom from sin, a relationship with God, and ultimately, eternal life. Doesn’t this sound all-encompassing and rich in blessings?

Luke 17:21 says, "Nor will people say, 'Here it is,' or 'There it is,' because the kingdom of God is within you."

What's in the Kingdom of God? Peace, love, resources, answers, ideas, and EVERYTHING YOU NEED. God created His Kingdom and then encased it inside of something very precious to Him . . . YOU! You are special to God, and He calls you beautiful for this very reason—simply because He created you.

Know today that God is accompanying you, and He's pleased with you. He smiles when He looks at you. Decide today to place your heart, your hopes, your dreams, your scars, your brokenness, and your healed places at the feet of Jesus. Receive the love and adoration He has for you today. You are worthy.
